Raclette!

I am very excited! I have ordered a Raclette Machine and it will arrive tomorrow. I have never eaten Raclette. Have you? My friend, Babette, in Germany has it all the time and she has good taste, so I finally spent the 50 bucks.
I could not find Racelette Cheese at Publix, Winn Dixie or BJs and Whole Foods is just too far away. We will have Gouda with it.
Do you have any recommendations what to cook on my Raclette? Do you prefer Raclette or Fondue?
I will let you know how it turns out tomorrow and I'll also let you know if I like the machine I ordered on Amazon.



and here is what the table looked like. It's great fun. Way better than Fondue I think.

Apologies

One of the most important things when having a blog is to frequently post so readers know that there will be something new to read when they kindly come back.
I live in the Florida Keys and unlike almost everywhere else in the US we are having beautiful warm weather. That did not prevent me from getting a terrible cold or flu (I don't know what the heck it was). Due to the fact that I get sick so seldom, I might be a bit whinier than the average person when it comes to having a cough and stuffy nose etc. I did continue to work but neglected this blog in its very important beginning stage. I am all better and will be back to posting frequently. Please come back and check ... also, there won't be any whining. I promise!

Pippi Langstrumpf

Wer - ueber 30- erinnert sich nicht an Pippi Langstrumpf? Ich kann mich daran erinnern, als ich als Kind dachte "Wenn es doch nur etwas gaebe womit man Pippi Langstrumpf aufnehmen und immer wieder -so oft wie man moechte- gucken koennte." Waere ich technisch begabt gewesen, haette ich garantiert den Videorekorder erfunden, aber dem sollte nicht so sein.
Was fuer ein tolles Vorbild Pippi war: Ein Maedchen mit super Kraeften, unendlich viel Spass am Leben trotz manch trauriger Umstaende in ihrem Leben und immer nett zu ihren Mitmenschen mit etwas Frechdachs dabei.

Das habe ich bei Youtube gefunden, viel Spass:
